During the rains much of this valley is flooded. As the rains stop and the flood subsides, innumerable water courses (nullahs) and lakes are found to intersect the land. Only a few of the nullahs carry off running water; all the others first grow stagnant, then their ends dry up, and they form slimy pools and soft morasses. Only in their last stage, in the hottest part of summer, do they present the solid land again, but immensely changed from its last year's configuration. This process goes on year after year, making fantastic variations in the surface of the ground.
